"My husband and I took our 2 young sons on a trip with Captain Xavier. They absolutely loved it! Captain X was amazing with them. My oldest asked him every fish question he could think of; and then some, almost the entire trip. He was patient and answered every question without being annoyed. If he was, he didn't show it. We caught about a dozen fish. The boys were so excited. My oldest said from a 1-10 Xavier gets an 11. They decided we are coming back 4X's a year."

"CAPTAIN XAVIER DID NOT DISSAPOINT!! The hubby & I had an incredible time out on the river. We went looking for big ole Reds & Cap'n Xavier found them! He was super knowledgeable & extremely interested in making sure we enjoyed ourselves! His boat was very clean & comfortable. We will 100% call on Cap'n Xavier everytime we are visiting this area!! This is the guy to call!!"

"What a trip! Thought we would catch some fish, but never could have imagined the poundage of fish we caught that afternoon. Capt. Xavier found the fish and kept us on them. He also lined up a couple of other guides for our large group and between the three boats, I’m confident we caught over a ton (2,000 lbs) of black drum. Crazy thing is that this was all done in an afternoon trip!! What I thought was going to be beautiful afternoon on the water turned into a fishing trip of a lifetime. One of those trips you’ll never forget. Had we not caught a single fish, I think we would’ve still had a blast with Capt. Xavier. He’s a fun guy to fish with!!"

"My fiance and I came to Florida for vacation and I decided to surprise him with a fishing trip. I am so glad I booked Capt. Xavier. We couldn't have had a better time. We caught multiple different species of fish, and we saw so much wildlife too. At the end of the day it seemed liked we all had been friends for years laughing and joking around. It was an amazing time! We came back a few months later and was just a reliable, communicative, personable AND professional as before! We will always book with Capt. Xavier at close encounters!"
